The Acura RDX has undergone a complete redesign! With its new turbocharged engine, segment-first 10-speed transmission and the newest generation of available Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), the new RDX is also the quickest, best-handling RDX ever; and with its new longer and wider platform, the 2019 RDX also boasts top-class cabin and cargo space with exceptional comfort, utility, and versatility. But what about it's AWD system? Can it climb and pass our famous diagonal test? ith SH-AWD, up to 70 percent of engine torque can be distributed to the rear wheels in normal driving scenarios, and 100 percent of that torque can be distributed to either rear wheel. The use of dynamic torque vectoring enables outstanding all-weather confidence, handling precision and cornering grip by making optimal use of tire traction and by inducing a yaw moment to help rotate the vehicle in a turn. The RDX's lightweight SH-AWD rear drive unit (below right) is constantly overdriven by 2.7-percent, with its torque instantly available at all times. The resulting overdrive effect is regulated by a hydraulically-operated left and right-side clutch packs located in the rear drive unit that independently controls the power delivered to each rear wheel. Up to 2,213 lb.-ft. of torque can be delivered to either rear wheel, providing torque vectoring capability that is effective in corners while also providing a limited-slip differential function when needed.
So check out our diagonal test of the 2019 Acura RDX SH-AWD!
